Pope Criticizes 'Savage Capitalism' on Visit to Food Kitchen

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis criticized what he called "savage capitalism" on a visit to a food kitchen on Tuesday, in an address in which he called for the values of generosity and charity to be revived.

"A savage capitalism has taught the logic of profit at any cost, of giving in order to get, of exploitation without thinking of people . . . and we see the results in the crisis we are experiencing," the Pope said.
